FROM THE DUST JACKET BLURB; “‘Guerillas in History’ provides a much needed perspective on the myths and counter-myths that have grown up around the subject since the United States became involved in Vietnam.” “At times the author sounds almost like a Machiavelli of guerrilla warfare, except that he gives lessons to both guerrillas and non-and conventional forces. He observes, for example, that the Vietcong tactic of killing middle level government officials in a large scale has proved a much more effective tactic than the 19th century Russian anarchist tactic of assassinating selected High government officials.“ Inventory shelf 10.
